The Escape From Space And Time: The Resurgence of Raj Yoga

What is Yoga? In today’s sick materialistic world, I believe 99% practitioners do not know the true meaning and objectives of Yoga. Surprisingly Sage Patanjali, the father of modern Yoga has not mentioned a single posture. Physical Yoga is preparation for mental Yoga, a portal to the Parallel Universe. This is the first research where modern science and spirituality is synthesized to its limit. More

It is pain and suffering that drives mankind to seek the Truth. In the pursuit of Truth science has helped us to ease some of our sufferings. But at the same time it appears that science is driving us towards extinction. Yes, faith in science is absolutely necessary but it has limitations. Science does not know where DNA came from, or the origin of life which is a temporary abode of consciousness. Science cannot answer all our questions, thus, the wise are forced towards spirituality in the quest for the Truth. Materialism and technology gives us a fake sense of security and pride, but won't fill the void and depression that will haunt us following a few wars and natural disasters that we are in the making. But behold, the new-age spiritualism is emerging to save mankind from all sufferings, where the ancient spiritual system of Yoga and meditation, with its objectivity, is reborn. Can spirituality be scientific? Yes, this is a practical research on Yoga and spirituality synthesized with science to its limit. In this sick materialistic age, most students don’t know the true meaning and objectives of Yoga. It is a well known fact that many religious institutions eventually transformed into sinister beasts, thus it is high time we understand the True meaning and objectives of Yoga before it is transformed into another institutional monster with sinister objectives. Twenty first century will witness the death of religions. Atheism is the mantra of the new-age youth. But skepticism has the potential to eventually enlighten us only if we understand that spirituality is above intellectualism and reasoning. Where reason ends, the Truth begins.

What is Yoga? In today’s sick materialistic world I believe 99% practitioners do not know the true meaning and objectives of yoga. It is so because of the vast difference in culture among various civilizations and at the same time strong conditioning through a few fundamentalist religious organizations. All the esoteric secrets have been long forgotten and all spiritual teachings of various religions are skewed and corrupted by their institutionalization. Even in India it is known to a very few that it takes at least 12 years of Sadhana (Practice) for any kind of spiritual achievement (Siddhi) to take roots. But today everybody believes that yoga and meditation can be mastered in a month’s workshop and worst is the 100 or 200 hour teacher’s training course with a prestigious Yoga Alliance certificate. It took me decades of practical research in isolation for the real esoteric knowledge to be revealed. Surprisingly Sage Patanjali the father of modern yoga has not mentioned a single asana (Posture). He formulated Ashtanga Yoga or Raj Yoga in just 195 aphorisms. It is up to the seekers to decode his formula and find the answers.
